...branches of science, stemming from the single basic discovery of orgone energy, the erstwhile hypothetical ether which science, for good reason, has never been able to abandon, stagger the average and academic imagination. People cannot readily grasp a science whose track leads from the understanding of neurosis to "Cosmic Orgone Engineering." They become suspicious, get scared off by the magnitude of what confronts them. Yet all of Reich's great findings are factual, demonstrable, irrefutable, as were those of Galileo. How much longer will it be before officials, the press, the public shake off their apathy, accept the largesse...

...experts as J. P. Morgan Chairman Henry C. Alexander, who thinks FRB "was wrong only in not being more vigorous a little sooner," Harvard Economist Sumner Slichter and retiring New York Federal Reserve Bank President Allan Sproul, who tartly dismisses Automan Curtice's complaint as "a sort of cosmic jest."

Genetic Damage. Their exposure to the cosmic rays did not seem to damage any of the animals. Some of the black mice grew a few white hairs, presumably caused when cosmic rays passed through hair follicles. No other bodily damage was noted. Major Simons admits, of course, that cosmic rays kill tissue cells, but he does not think any part of an animal's body is seriously damaged by the loss of a few cells. Genetic damage is another matter. If a cosmic ray hits a reproductive cell (sperm or ovum), it can cause the birth of an imperfect...

Less romantic than cosmic rays is the problem of food and air for space voyagers, but Dr. Nello Pace of the University of California considers the problem no less interesting. A normal man has a water turnover of about 5 Ibs. a day. Since the spaceship must conserve every possible ounce of weight, this water must be recycled: condensed from the air and extracted from urine and feces. Food cannot be recycled without making the spaceship a flying farm, and Dr. Pace is not even sure that preserved food will be satisfactory for a long voyage. No preserved ration...
